Re: *semantic* frames in OntoLex-lemon

Hi Christian,

Yes, frames are intended for syntactic frames only not semantic frames such
as FrameNet.

There was an extension for syntactic frames proposed here, which I would
recommend:
https://premon.fbk.eu/

We could look into creating a module for this in the OntoLex group, if
there is enough interest.

Regards,
John
